1. Some of them did, some didn't, some were indifferent

What is it about judging Muslims as a group. There are millions of them. Why is each one responsible for the views of the others?

4. It's The Pope's Fault

He planted that bad spinach, too, I'll bet.

2. Hyperbole? No but stating that their #1 Profit brough EVIL is a BIG No-No!

And for that, IMO Benedict should promptly resign.

3. I'm not sure about that

There's probably little we can do to get radical muslims to like us - but that's not the reason not to disparage another religion anyway, I wouldn't think. You don't attack another religion because you do not find it acceptable to attack others religious beliefs - it's uncharitable and unkind.

In general, doing good because you hope to get something out of the people you are doing good to is a mugs game.

6. The pope is just as insane as any other religious nut

So, whatever he says is really inconsequential to free-minded people.

9. It's a small group of extremely fundamentalist Muslims who have

such problems with us. Of course, after Fallujah, many more probably hate us. I've known a whole lot of Muslims, many quite religious ones, and yes, they loved me - would share their last slice of bread if I was hungry and had none - these may not qualify, however, as "the world's Muslims." The Pope needs to STFU and deal with is own $^!t.
